MARKET UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 2024

We specialise in mid-market transactions, generally $2m-$100m in deal size. Our team is national, and we have access to a strong database of investors and businesses where we facilitate these deals. Some deals on this newsletter are for information purposes and were not completed by us.

RECENT DEALS

The business specialises in welding supply, sales, service and hire in the Northern Territory. The founding owner was at retirement age and had moved interstate. The time was now to sell the business. We built a target list of suitable prospective purchasers in similar or related industries. It was a tough sell, mainly because of the remoteness of the NT in comparison to the rest of Australia. Our campaign was very successful. It attracted 70 enquiries, and in the end the business was sold to South Pacific Welding Group who are a part of a leading global industrial gases and engineering Company for a price the owner was extremely happy with.

A Tasmanian zoo has recently been successfully sold following a national expressions of interest campaign. We reached out to over 200 potential buyers, and through the campaign we generated 103 enquiries. Impressively, the first offer received resulted in a successful sale, with both the zoo business and its property being purchased. This outcome reflects a successful deal, with all parties satisfied and the transaction completed smoothly and efficiently.

A confectionery manufacturer based in Victoria was successfully completed in a recent sale transaction, surpassing expectations. The expressions of interest campaign garnered significant attention through a national outreach to over 200 potential buyers. The response was overwhelming, with 136 enquiries received. Remarkably, the first offer made led to a successful sale, demonstrating the strong market demand and the value of the business and it's unique IP. The business had been in the same family for many generations, and the buyer is a household name in the Australian FMCG landscape.

This business manufactures offshore and imports a well regarded product in the Caravan and Trailer market. When selling the business we had 3 serious offers, and after multiple meetings an offer of just over $4m was accepted. A very strong price and exactly what the owner wanted. The marketing campaign involved a widespread reach across various websites and the Finn database of buyers. The sale then settled exactly 3 months from when we first went on the market. A great result for all.

This West-Australian-based business had been in the same owners hands for many years, and they had reached retirement age and were looking to exit. We created a campaign that focused on sophisticated investors, as we felt they would be the best fit. The campaign reached out to all States and Territories across Australia. We received 67 enquiries from buyers, and dealt with 4 serious parties in the end who reached the offer stage. We negotiated a deal that saw the business sell quickly, and to a very strong buyer at a price the owners were very happy with.
